autoreq

#autoreq.js A node program that generate a single .js file requiring all files that matches a given file name

Checkout the Typescript skeleton for a real world example of this library

This tool is intended for projects with feature based folders in which each feature is responsable for its own dependencies.

##Install me!

npm install autoreq 

Run without arguments for help:

node node_modules/autoreq/autoreq.js

Or with arguments

node node_modules/autoreq/autoreq.js [filename] [basePath] [outputFile] [inputFolders]

Example:

Suppose the following folder structure and that each feature contains a view (html) and a controller (.js / .ts)

app
  |--features
     |--login
        |--login.html
        |--main.ts
     |--home
        |--home.html
        |--main.ts
     |--products
        |--products.html
        |--main.ts
     |--clients
        ...
index.html

Running node autoreq.js "." main.js deps.js "." would generate the deps.js files requiring all files in "." (base path) that are named main.js with the following content:

require('features/login/main');
require('features/home/main');
require('features/products/main');
require('features/clients/main');

Allowing us requiring the deps.js file that contains all main dependencies to each feature, of course, each one of these main.js file could have its own dependencies, controllers, services, or any other component that should be loaded when the application starts
